The principles of fairness, ethics, and equity are often implicit in many of these studies (Hersberger, ; Todd &amp; Edwards, ; Courtright, ). However, the concept of social justice, an overarching concept that includes these principles, is rarely made explicit.<\/jats:p><jats:p>An ad hoc gathering, originally coined the \u201cSocial Justice Forum\u201d was held at AM'06 in Austin, Texas, to explore the usefulness of social justice concepts in information science. This meeting brought together researchers and practitioners who are generally interested in social justice issues as they relate to information. Since the term \u201csocial justice\u201d in information science is a somewhat novel or under\u2010used one, the discussion primarily focused on defining and fitting the term into information science contexts. One of the results was a list of keywords that represent social justice as it relates to information use, including:\n<jats:list list-type=\"simple\">\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Under\u2010served populations<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Agenda\u2010setting<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Economic benefits of information access and use<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Cultural issues<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Marginalization<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Policy<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Community informatics<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Diversity<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Fair use<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Information sharing and exchange<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<\/jats:list><\/jats:p><jats:p>Given that many information professions mandate that practitioners be advocates for their constituents, and given the richness of extant social justice concepts in other fields, the group agreed that it would be a good idea to continue exploring the relationship between social justice and information studies and practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.1450440130","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,2,11]],"date-time":"2009-02-11T13:16:49Z","timestamp":1234358209000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Conceptualizing social justice in the information sciences"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Kevin","family":"Rioux","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bharat","family":"Mehra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kendra","family":"Albright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,24]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Looking for information: a survey of research on information seeking, needs, and behavior","year":"2007","author":"Case D.","key":"e_1_2_2_2_1"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_2_3_1","article-title":"Health information seeking among Latino newcomers: An exploratory study","volume":"10","author":"Courtright","year":"2005","journal-title":"Information Research"},{"volume-title":"Theories of information behavior","year":"2005","author":"Fisher K.","key":"e_1_2_2_4_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14716310310001631462"},{"volume-title":"A practical framework for social justice research in the information professions.
